Yes i know its a bad idea, but still i run it and never experienced thermal shutdown on 12 cells, would it really be neccessary to down gear to novaks recommended, the latest gearing they issued seems like it would make the truck really slow.
Yer but i went around a whole gp3300 run, with out thermerlling, so they may be just over protective, becuase them recommendations, would mean i would'nt even hit 30.
You could have Mike soldered the needed goodies on.. But that HV maxx is nice though!! running as smooth as possible.. You might consider keeping the gearing as it is, but keep a close eye on that temps..
